A death threat made several weeks
j ago to Policeman J. W. McWilliams
| furnished a clew for the detectives
i Thursday in working on the myste
rious attempt to assassinate McWil-
j liams at his home in East Atlanta just
; before he came to work early Thiirs-
j day morning.
A business man is said to have ut-
! tered the threat against the officer.
He was placed under surveillance as
soon as the story of the incident was
told, and an arrest is expected if
Ajie facts are found to bear out the
suspicious of McWilliams and the
detectives.
Thought to Bear Grudge.
The business man is reported to
have threatened to "get” McWilliams
if it took the rest of his life. An
arrest in which the patrolman partic
ipated is understood to have been the
cause of the remark.
The patrolman went to hjs back
porch about midnight. As he leaned
over a basin in washing his face he
found himself looking right into a re
volver thrust through the porch rail
ing.
Fired on Twice.
At the same instant he was deaf
ened by the report of the revolver,
and a bullet whizzed by his ear. Fie
started back, and the revolver clicked
again, but missed lire.
McWilliams rushed into the house
to get his pistol, and returned justj
in time to see his would-be murderer!
jump the fence. Before he could take
aim, the mysterious person disap
peared.
McWilliams told the story of the
attempted murder when he arrived at
headquarters, and the detective de
partment was put on the case.
